Gay and Lesbian Families. When adopting, gay couples have to leap a great deal more hurdles than straight couples (if they are even permitted the option). Children who are finally adopted are dearly wanted. These candid, friendly family portraits open the door to a world many don't see; even though it might be next door. The situations here are varied, from a doctor who adopted a baby at the hospital to two priests who left the Jesuit order, and later started a family. Photos by Isaac Hernández. Story by Northridge University professor Juan Antonio Herrero Brasas available upon request. |

Henrietta Allais: Naked Truth. Her image, naked and defiant, appears on the cover of Helmut Newton's big book, “Sumo”. She has been exposed on billboards, two stories high, in major cities around the world, promoting the book, billed as "the world’s largest and most expensive book ever" (a single copy costs $5000). Recently, one print of the same photo sold for a Helmut Newton world record of $311,000 at auction by Christy’s in London. But the woman who took her clothes off got only $75 for the shoot, from Paris Vogue. |

The Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon. First came Pearl Harbor. Then the revenge: on February 16, 1944, during World War II, the US launched one of the most destructive attacks on the Japanese Imperial Navy, wiping out more than 26 war vessels, and over 250 war planes. Now the area is prime for historical diving (and tropical tourism); with these manmade reefs of war relics, surrounded by memorabilia, including M-90 tanks, and even ceramic figures among the finest you will ever see beneath the sea. Story and photos by Tom Campbell. |
